Introduction
Master of Philosophy
Course Overview
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a complete, stand-alone degree that is an internationally recognised master (by research) degree. It is designed for students to develop advanced skills in carrying out independent and sustained research. The thesis should demonstrate a critical application of specialist knowledge and make an independent contribution to existing scholarship in the area of research. The course is unique in that it is delivered within Avondale’s Christian education framework. Students of the Master of Philosophy degree will develop critical thinking skills, ethical scholarship, and attitudes that are conducive to personal and collective involvement.
Research specialisations can be in the areas of Education, Arts, Nursing, Ministry and Theology.
